NEW BUSINESS:

Joanne has put in for the use of the building for the entire year.  Usually, we don’t meet during JULY AND AUG., but, because the entire year has been paid for, we now have the opportunity to utilize the millman center during these two months.  It would be when we would hold our usual meetings. 2nd Wednesday of each mo 7pm to 9pm.   No business mtg but anyone who wants to use the facility one time a month, will be able to.   One volunteer is needed to coordinate something for July and someone to do something for August.  IF NO VOLUNTEER IS ANNOUNCED in 2 weeks, then this time will be handed back to the township so then can fill the facility.   SUGGESTIONS for using the facility 1 time a month would be an example of   Pillowcase races, charity night to do baby blankets, The evening get together for CAMACO in July and August are incase someone works during the day and can not make it to open sew,  then they have the opportunity to use the Millman center at night from 7pm to 9pm.
